Our office depot only does it with certain brands.I went in and bought 2 ink cartridges for my canon i960.and she told me they didn't give the paper anymore for that brand.I told her they did b4,but she insisted not any more. Kathi

Is it possible you accidentally set, within in your word processor, documents to print larger than 8ý"x11" (letter sized)? If so, maybe the printer is expecting larger paper from the manual slot? (And beeping when it doesn't find it?) If not, maybe go into "Printers and Faxes" (in Windows Control Panel), right click your Brother printer, select Properties and look through the settings for something such as "Paper Source"? And "Paper Size"? Just thinking what I'd probably do if it were me though, I'm not a tech.

I have splurged on cars. Our first Jaguar sedan was second-hand, then we bought new or nearly new sedans and an untitled XJS second-hand. DH replaced my Austin Healey 3000 that we sold as newlyweds. I'm agree with Minnie about living *below* one's means. I woke up one day and wondered why we were still living in our 'starter' house thirty years later! We'd saved TOO long! DH retired, and we built a new house in a nicer community -- more than an hour from the city, since he no longer had to commute. Our 'starter' and the neighborhood were fine, but...not AS fine. We're only sorry we didn't move sooner. I still delight in driving along the pretty road to our house, ten years on. I'm not sure what 'splurge' means to me. I'll never be the person who charges a vacation because she can't pay for it up front, but I am an advocate of living AT your means, not far below it 'just because'.

A shot in the dark here. It's an old HP fix-it. Shut down your system. Disconnect printer from system. Unplug printer from the wall for sixty seconds. (If it is plugged into a surge suppressor/power strip unplug it from the strip.) Reconnect printer to system. Plug printer back in directly to wall. Turn on printer and let it configure. Boot up system. Cross fingers. Print. The thought process is some HP transformers are fussy and don't like an unstable electrical supply; particularly through power strips/surge suppressors (two different things in actuality) In their fuss they can drop settings, handshakes and configurations.
